PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



PETUNIA NANA COMPACTA. 

 A most distinct and attractive variety. It forms a neat 

 bush 8 cr 9 inches high, profusely covered '■with bright 

 cherry-colored Cowers with white throat, forming a plant, 

 when in flower, resembling a round bouquet of flowers. 

 It flowers early, and when only 3 inches high, and con- 

 tinues in bloom throughout the season. 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



PANCRATIUM CORONARIUM. 



One of the finest of our native bulbous plants. It can be 

 profitably forced in the winter, when its pure white lily 

 like flowers command high prices. 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



NEW FORCING PINK," Lord Lyons." 



Flowers crimson, laced with rose color, delicately fringed, 

 of large size — 2 inches in diameter— and of rich clove fra- 

 grance. This variety is now largely grown, both as a pot 

 plant and for the cut blooms for the Covent Garden 

 Market of London. It is entirely hardy, and is therefore 

 valuable as a hardy border plant, or for forcing purposes 

 in winter. 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



NEW DROOPING FERN 



(Polypodium Eurrudrianum). 



This species, known as the " Sandwich Island Fern." 

 should be grown in a wire basket in moss; when sus- 

 pended under the partial shade of a verandah, its elegant 

 fronds droop from 3 to i feet. It received a special pre- 

 mium from the New York Horticultural Society. 



50 cts. each ; $4.50 per doz. Small plants, half price. 



NEW DOUBLE POINSETTIA 



(Poinsettia Pulcherrima Plenissima). 



The single variety of the Poinsettia is known to be one 

 of the most gorgeous of plants, the bracts, or flower leaves, 

 being often over a foot in diameter, and of the most bril- 

 liant vermilion color. We grow an area of 3,000 square 

 feet of this plant annually, and the sight it presents when 

 in full bloom at the holidays is worth coming miles to see- 

 The kind above offered is the double variety of this beau- 

 tiful plant. 



The double variety, $1.00, S2.00, $3.00, and $5.00 each. 

 The single variety we will sell at from 25 ets. to $1.00 each, 

 according to the size. 



PILOGTSE SfAVIS. 



PILOGYNE SUAVIS. 



A rapid-growing climber, with small, glossy, green 



leaves. It does well at all seasons in the house; while 

 out-of-doors, in the summer, it has no equal for shading 

 the verandah or summer-house. Flowers yellowish white, 

 fragrant; an excellent basket plant. (See Cut.) 

 25 cts. each ; $2.25 per doz. 



PORPHYROCOMA LANCEOLATA. 



This old plant is very seldom met with, though well worthy 

 of general cultivation. It has long -pointed, dark green 

 leaves, which are almost hidden by a large tuft of cocks- 

 comb-like flowers. The body of the flowers is darlc crimson, 

 from which arise delicate projections of a beautiful puprle 

 color. Flowering plants in hot-house collections are some- 

 what overlooked, and they should not be, for they are 

 equally attractive to most people, and tend to break up the 

 monotony of ornamental foliage. 



75 cts. each : $7 . 50 ppr doz. 



"niphetos." 



TEA ROSE, "Niphetos." 



This is the White Rose par-excellence. Color of the purest 

 white; large, full, fragrant. It grows dwarf and compact, 

 and flowers in great profusion, nearly every shoot producing 

 a bud. It is now grown almost exclusively es being the 

 best White Tea Rose, either for winter or summer. Ever in 

 bloom, and possessing all the qualities in a Rose. (See Cut.) 

 1st size, $1-00 each; $3.00 per doz. 2d size, 60 cts. each; $6.00 

 per doz. 3d size, 30 cts. each; S-3.00 per doz.' 



NEW ROSE, « Queen of Bedders. 



A splendid variety, with flowers of a bright dark crimson 

 color. It is not much used for cut flowers, as its buds are 

 not pointed enough, but for bedding singly or in masses, it 

 is superb. It is probably the freest-flowering rose known. 

 It literally covers itself with flowers, every shoot being a 

 cluster of dazzling bloom. 



$1.00 each ; $9.00 per doz. 



NEW ROSE, «'Reine Marie Henriette." 



A vigorous climbing rose, with rich carmine flowers, 

 which are of large size and fine form. This variety is some- 

 times called " The Red Gloire de Dijon," as it is identical 

 with that rose except in color. 



1st size, $1.00 cts. each; $9.00 per doz.
